SAN ANTONIO — The San Antonio Spurs' G League affiliate is set to make league history.
The Austin Spurs announced they will participate in an HBCU Classic against the Texas Legends on Nov. 4th at Paul Quinn College in Dallas, TX at 4 p.m.
This will be the first time a G League game will be played at a historically black college or university (HBCU).
"We're honored to participate in the first ever HBCU Classic at Paul Quinn College,” said Spurs Senior VP of Business Development & President of Business Operations, Tim Salier. “We truly appreciate our longstanding partnerships with both the Texas Legends and Thrivent Financial."
